The Weekend Brew: Faithful Father

As Father’s day approaches, I want to encourage you that your Father in heaven loves you so much. I’m not sure what kind of an earthly father you’ve had, but your heavenly Father is perfect, gentle, loving and kind. I want to share with you today this acrostic I put together, as a reminder of His love for you!

F – Faithful

For great is your love, higher than the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the skies. (Psalm 108:4)

A – Abundantly Available

God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. (Psalm 46:1)

T – Trustworthy

I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress;My God, in Him I will trust.” (Psalm 91:2)

H – Helper

We wait in hope for the Lord; he is our help and our shield. (Psalm 33:20)

E – Encouraging

You, Lord, hear the desire of the afflicted; you encourage them, and you listen to their cry, (Psalm 10:17)

R – Restoring

He restores my soul;He leads me in the paths of righteousnessFor His name’s sake. (Psalm 23:3)

May you rest securely in the arms of your loving and faithful Father in heaven this Father’s Day.

Thank you for this reminder of our Father. This is beautiful to share with others that have that hole in their lives of an earthly dad. And I will surely be sharing the link. Have a blessed weekend~ ~ JoanneJoanne Viola recently posted..The Random Five 6/15/13

Dear Barbie
I feel so sorry for the people who have only sad and unloving experiences and thoughts about their earthly father! It is hard for them to understand our Pappa’s love, but not hard for Him to overwhelm them with His goodness when they want to believe! Even faith is a gift from Him.
Much love XX

Thank you for this, Barbie. I have no recollection of my father and mostly fearful memories of my step-father – so – Father’s Day must be transformed into something beyond here. Your acrostic reminds me of the One True Father who has always been with me! Blessings!Carrie recently posted..When My Heart Grieves

Amen!! This post touched my heart. Although my earthly Father has passed on. I find peace and joy knowing I have my heavenly father who is there with me and he is faithful! Thank you for this beautiful post!!Rebecca recently posted..Fab Five Friday

My father was a hard working man. He often did a double shift to suipply our family with needs and so my mother could be a stay at home mom. Mom worked hard too, in the garden, cooking, sewing and teaching us to love God. Dad in his later years attended church faithfully and was a good example to us. He taught me to drive a car, and made sure i did not date until I was age 16. We could go as a group roller skating, swimming, but not one on one dates. It satisfied me and dad too felt it was good. Today I tell a story about my “farmer” dad and when our children were small.Hazel Moon recently posted..Pigeon Pie

How blessed we are to be a child of God! Thank you, Barbie, for placing the Scripture alongside the character of God, our Father. May we sit at His feet, on His knee, in His lap and always know that we are loved. I am still learning.
